Weekend in Review: Just when you think you have it figured out...

I'm saltier than a bag of peanuts.
Though I should have known better, I picked Detroit to win. I did this in spite of the lovely Princess Katie telling me that the Cards were going to win. (Memo to self, on the rare instances that Princess Katie calls it don't ask questions.) St. Louis decided that they were going to look good (Stephen Jackson makes that much of a difference?) Washington and Tennessee let me down in what should have been winnable home games. It all adds up to another mediocre sunday (Sigh)...
Oh well, Ohio State got beat...and I'm lovin it. Keep in mind I live in Ohio. Buckeye Nation is still trying rationaize why they got beat by a team that the last time it game to Columbus they beat 40-2. The supposed invincible Buckeyes were outplayed and Illnois were not cowed by the 105,000 fans at Ohio Stadium. The Luckeyes finally crapped out and their luck finally turned. This time next week I will love to see how Buckeye nation will explain getting thrashed at the Big House and why they went from talking title to trying to find where the Capital One Bowl is being played at (I think its in Tampa)
How bout them Bearcats? No silly, not the 1-2 basketball team that I fear may be on its way to another 11-19 season, the 8-2 #22 ranked squad that defeated its second straight ranked team by beating UConn 27-3. Next up is West Virginia who is a top 5 team and the Bearcats have still yet to beat in Big East play. I'm hoping that the Bearcats magical season continues with a win on Senior Night.
Getting back to the pros, I can't believe that the Colts spotted the Chargers a 23-0 lead and roared all the way back...what, Vinatieri missed that 29 yarder? Oh snap, you sure that wasn't Vanderjagt? Is the one time Automatic Adam getting human and rusty??? The Colts suddenly look real mortal and Peyton Manning had as about a horrible game as one has ever seen. 6 Picks??? Whoa!
Here's hoping that Adrian Peterson is ok, I would be sick if he was out a serious amount of time with an injury. He is the most breathtaking running back that I have seen since maybe Barry Sanders, but he has the power and grace of a Walter Payton (May he rest) But I'm fearing that he might be a all too brief flash. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a positve prognosis. You mention the debacle in Green Bay today you lose an appendage.
The Bengals won today with 7 field goals and no touchdowns, I've said that an ugly win is better than a pretty loss and the Bengals proved it today. Marvin Lewis has suddenly gotten more conservative inside the 20 than Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity put together, by all thats right this should have been a 34-0 or 41-0 shellacking. Instead the Ravens scored and were lining up for an onside kick after making it 21-7. Go figure, all that offensive talent and when the defense finally shows up they get inept.
One more thing before I'm out.On this Veterans Day make sure that you take a minute to thank a vet for your freedom and way of life. I'm not a super big flag waving type, but I think its something that is right and appropriate. My Pops was a Vietnam Vet and retired Marine, and he has always said that just saying "Thanks" to a vet will make him or her feel like what they sacrificed worth it. So if you see a vet or someone in military colors. Give 'em dap, wish them well, thank them or do all three. I bet you cash money you'll get a smile that will warm your heart. Just something to consider. Until Next Post Fellow Sports Fans
